Brackets Let You Add Planter Row Units

Brackets Let You Add Planter Row Units PLANTING EQUIPMENT Accessories 7-3-15 New from Snider Equipment Corp., Reinbeck, Iowa are special brackets that allow mounting of additional row units on Deere Max-Emerge planters for planting soybeans and other crops in narrow rows. The brackets bolt onto the planter row unit with 8 bolts, 4 on each side. Each has a 2-in. by 2-in. toolbar attached that No.71 Deere Flex units U-bolt onto. Brackets come in either a single unit for adding one flex unit, or a double unit to which you can attach two flex units. A swivel model is also available that swings up for passing through narrow gates and bridges. The brackets work on 4-row to 12-row planters that plant 30-40 in. rows. To convert an 8-row planter to 13 rows for soybeans, for example, you'd add a double unit behind the outside row on each side and a single unit behind the center row. The company advises removing planter boxes before transporting. The brackets only fit Deere planters and are not recommended for the fold-up planters. A single bracket sells for $77, and the double unit for $135. For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Snider Equipment Corp., 111 E. Kenwood St., Reinbeck, Iowa 50669 (ph 319 345-2631).
